Album Description
Available in:
The Other One is the fourth studio album by Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal, released internationally on March 24, 2023. Babymetal announced the album on October 11, 2022, and revealed it as a concept album. It was released by Cooking Vinyl Records.
The first single from the album, "Divine Attack (Shingeki)", was released on October 20, 2022. This is the first Babymetal song for which all lyrics were written by singer Su-Metal. The second single from the album, "Monochrome", was released on November 17 with a lyric video, a first for the band. On January 19, 2023, the group released the single "Metal Kingdom", along with revealing the track list for the album. The fourth single, "Light and Darkness", was released on February 23, 2023 with a music video from one of their live shows. Their fifth single, "Mirror Mirror", was released with a lyric video one day before the full album release.
Background
The Other One is presented as a concept album based on a year-long hiatus that the members of Babymetal took from music, as well as the group's ten-year anniversary. According to a press release:
Last year Babymetal were 'sealed' from the world after a successful 10-year journey. In April 2022, The Other One restoration project began to recover the Babymetal we never knew existed within a virtual world called the Metalverse. A total of 10 songs have been discovered within The Other One restoration project, with each song representing a unique theme based on 10 separate parallel worlds that they have discovered. The upcoming concept album features these all-new tracks for us to experience the other Babymetal story that no one ever knew about.
According to the album's story line, each song describes a parallel world encountered by Su-Metal and Moametal during a journey through alternate realities. Su-Metal described the album as an attempt to move beyond stereotypical beliefs about the group.
Critical reception
Upon its release, the album received generally favorable reviews from critics. Kerrang! noted that "There’s not as much on their fourth album that will raise eyebrows or provoke a laugh, but Babymetal could never iron out all their eccentricity completely." The magazine concluded that "it’s hard not to have fun when every track here feels suitably like its own adventure, and impressively still, Babymetal sound like they've been steering the ship through these parallel universes not for the first time, but for years." DIY Magazine criticized some of the album's glossy production methods, but concluded that it "is mostly a fun, noisy collection does also offer an infinite rabbit hole to dive down."
Distorted Sound noted that the album "might just be Babymetal's best work yet" while serving as a showcase for "what Moametal and Su-metal can do as a duo". Metal Hammer described the album as continuing Babymetal's ongoing experimentation, and while those experiments can get out of hand, the magazine called the album "unquestionably their strongest compendium of delirium to date." According to Punktastic, the album "is another notch in the cap of the duo and their band, an album that manages to wrangle some form of focus from the group's experimental chaos with more comprehensive songwriting and production."
